How to get the most out of HattiWatt

Many people know HattiWatt as an app where they can quickly check the electricity price. In reality, however, the app includes much more, and with a little familiarization it can be significantly more useful in everyday life.

Most users open HattiWatt to check the prices for the day or the next few hours. This is a good starting point, because following electricity prices helps time consumption for more affordable moments. Even small changes can affect the electricity bill, especially when using a spot-price or consumption-impact electricity contract.

Many users also use HattiWatt through widgets that can be added to the home screen. When the electricity price is visible directly on the phone's home screen, there is no need to go looking for the information separately. One glance is enough to show what the price level is at that moment. This makes following prices effortless and helps with decisions when they matter.

The electricity price alone does not tell the whole story. That is why HattiWatt also includes a Production page, which helps users follow the state of the electricity system more broadly. Production data makes it easier to understand why prices sometimes rise or fall quickly. For example, changes in wind power production, consumption peaks, and electricity imports or exports often show up in the market almost immediately.

Many users are also surprised by how useful following electricity prices can be without having to make major changes to everyday life. HattiWatt does not require constant monitoring or complicated calculations. It is enough to glance at the price now and then and, when possible, time larger electricity consumers for more affordable moments.

With the latest updates, HattiWatt now also includes a Partners page. Through it, users can explore different electricity contract options and compare spot-price, fixed-price and consumption-impact contracts. The same information can also be found on the HattiWatt website. This lets users follow the market situation and, when needed, compare options easily within the same service.

The past winter has once again shown how quickly the electricity market can change. Freezing temperatures, windless periods and changes in production often show directly in the electricity price. These are exactly the situations where HattiWatt is most useful, because the app helps users understand the market situation instead of only showing the price.

If you use HattiWatt only to check the day's prices, it is worth spending a moment exploring the app's other features too. You may notice that HattiWatt offers much more information than it first appears to. The better you understand the electricity market, the easier it is to make choices that suit your everyday life.
